They are the prey, we are the hunters—— the Fox City Guard.

......

Beast tides usually erupt at night, and those seemingly poisonous poisonous fogs condense and form under the illumination of the moonlight, and countless fog monsters emerge from their habitats one after another, instinctively attacking in the direction of the city.

At first, it was a black line, then it grew thicker and thicker, and the shapes of the Misty Monsters could be faintly seen.

Every summer, dozens of waves of beasts come. According to the rules of the empire, the first thirty waves of beast tides will be harvested by the city's army, and the next thirty waves of beast tides can be harvested by non-military personnel.

Sixty percent of the magic cores harvested by the military will be handed over to the state, and the rest will be kept for military supplies. The magic cores harvested by non-military personnel need to be sold to the state, and the remaining fifty percent can be traded freely.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up! Raise your magic guide guns and aim well, don't attack without my orders!"

The lord of Fox City who gave the order was 44 years old this year and had the title of [Jade-faced Fat Fox]. And his figure is worthy of this title, which is quite plump. Since taking over the city, he has led the city's guards to harvest hundreds of beast tides. To him, the innumerable Mist Monster is an innumerable amount of money.

"The artillery squad is in place, and the magic cannon is calibrated and stored!"

The spearmen lined up neatly on the city wall with magic guide guns, and the artillerymen methodically adjusted the trajectory of the magic guide cannons.

The beast tide is getting closer and closer, and its appearance can already be clearly seen, and their roars are chaotic and full of madness, if it is the first time to see the beast tide, ordinary people will probably be too frightened to move.

However, these soldiers are obviously not ordinary people, let alone recruits who have not participated in the harvest...... Until the lord gives the order, none of them will attack blindly.

"Obey me!...... Launch!"

With the lord's order, the muzzle of the magic guide cannon burst out with brilliant light neatly. The light flickered, and then a pink glow bloomed in the tide of beasts.

The pink glow was so beautiful, but it was also so deadly, and each explosion was accompanied by the death of at least a hundred mist monsters, and what they left behind after their death was a magical core.

After more than ten consecutive salvos, the Magic Cannon goes on cooldown. At this time, nearly half of the fog monsters had died, and the remaining fog monsters had already entered the range of the spearmen.

"The spearmen are ready to ...... Shoot!"

The rain of light poured out fell in the beast tide, although the power of a single shot could not be fatal, but the magic guide gun could fire hundreds of rounds in a row without cooling, and the only part that needed to be replaced was ammunition - magic core.

Eventually, the remnants of the Fog Monsters rushed under the walls, but the remaining numbers were no longer a threat.

They roared and opened their mouths, spewing magic at the soldiers on the ramparts...... But alas, the soldiers' uniforms have their own magic barriers, which are intact to block these sporadic attacks.

Soon, these fog monsters were also dealt with.

The soldiers did not have anyone to cheer, because it was used to it for them. From the first ecstasy to the current indifference, everything is as calm as eating and drinking.

A total of five waves of beast tides were ushered in in one night, but the death toll in Fox City was 0, and only a dozen or so unlucky soldiers were slightly injured after breaking the magic barrier.

When the sun shines, it means that the day's attack is over.

The sunlight shone on the Fog Monster's body, causing it to let out a miserable wail. First there was white smoke coming out of their bodies, but soon their entire bodies were on fire. Waiting for the flames to dissipate, the Fog Monsters are gone, and the only proof of their existence is the Demon Core of one place.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and collect the scattered demon cores into the warehouse...... As for hiding some magic cores or something when cleaning the battlefield, that's definitely normal.

......

......Garusis, wrapped in a white cloak, witnessed all this, and did not recover from the shock until he returned to Johnson's home.

Compared with more than a thousand years ago, the strength of the current human legion is not as weak as it was at the beginning, especially once the alchemy weapons of the human race reach a certain number, the power even Galusis in his heyday does not dare to resist with his body.

[In a thousand years, not only have I not made any progress, but my strength has been regressing. In the face of humanity whose armament strength has reached this level, do I really have a chance to take revenge on humanity?]

Fortunately, this loss only lasted, and Galusis was not the kind of person who gave up easily...... No, monsters.

Alchemy weapons are relatively powerful, but not so powerful that they are out of balance. The Monsters of the Mist will lose only because they have instinct and no intelligence.

"That's right, it's better to wait until everything is exhausted and then be killed! I'm the Demon King Garusis, synonymous with death and evil!......

"Shut up, can't you just be quiet!?" the Messiah rolled his eyes and tossed his cloak aside.

Compared to Gallusis's initial loss, the Messiah seemed more gratifying...... After all, he was also a human being, and he was naturally sincerely happy about the strength of his kind. Even though he is dead now, he still thinks he still has a human heart.

That night, Garusis continued to visit the human soldiers harvesting the crystals. It's still so neat, and it's still 0 deaths...... Until the end of the third wave of beasts tonight.

The moon in the sky turned blood-red at some point, and the scarlet light sprinkled on the earth, which looked so sad.

"████████████——!!" From the depths of the forest, an inhuman roar was heard.

No one knows what this sound represents, but anyone who is not deaf can hear the madness and anger contained in this roar.

With the advent of the fourth wave of beasts, the owner of that voice appeared.

It was a huge body with huge wings that seemed to cover the sky, and a lizard-like head with horns.

It is a creature that has long since disappeared into the long river of history and is now at the top of the food chain...... Dragon.

"What about the dragon!?

Under the lord's orders, the soldiers quickly aimed their magic cannons at the dragon in the sky.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom......

A succession of pink light bloomed around the dragon, and the dragon did not dodge, allowing the magic cannons to attack him.

However, the result of the attack shocked everyone, as the dragon was unscathed.

"Impossible!?Why is the attack of the magic cannon ineffective!?"

"Stupid human, accept our wrath!" the dragon took a deep breath as he spoke, then opened his mouth.

Rumble!

It looked like a similar attack to the magic cannon, but under that blow, the walls of Fox City had been strong for hundreds of years...... Crushed.

Humans who have lost the protection of the city walls and magic cannons can only use their weak bodies to meet the monsters like waves.

On that day, humanity finally remembered...... The horror of being hunted by monsters for a time, and the humiliation of his own lack of strength.

The identity of the prey and the hunter was completely reversed on this night.

......

ps: Giants have been very popular recently, and I'm going to follow suit.
